I'm just toying with one called NexGen Gallery for my wife's WP site. It's seems to be OK so far but I can't claim to have used it for ages. What I like about it is a slick little slide show feature it has. So far no bugs but it's early days yet. Vangogh probably has a better handle on WP plugins for galleries. He should chime in here eventually after he gets a new band-aid on his ear...

I have to admit - it's not easy to use and you have to have some tech savvy to make it do what you want. If the site you're building is for someone with little tech savvy i'd steer away from this one...it's a pain

goat I've been using one of the lightbox plugins, but the one I use hasn't been updated for WP 2.7 yet. There are plenty though if you search for 'wordpress plugins lightbox' They're generally easy to use. You create a thumbnail image and wrap a link around the thumbnail to the full size image. Then you add rel="lightbox" to the link and it's all set.

I'm using one on my portfolio if you want to see how it looks. I'm sure you've seen a lightbox image gallery before.

I like lightbox and I use it for a few sites. I would like to set this person up with a plugin that will format the thumbnails for them and also have a slideshow. Is there a lightbox gallery that does that? I haven't been able to find one.

There are so many, I have wasted my time installing three now that I don't like.

I know what you mean about there being a lot. I could have sworn I'd seen some that did have the slideshow gallery, but the last few times I looked I couldn't find any. It might be I'm thinking of the ordinary lightbox and not a WP plugin.

If that's the case you could set up a lightbox gallery in javascript and get a plugin to allow you to add javascript to posts.

Well I still haven't found one I would call great, but I did end up installing nextgen and I have to say it is actually really simple to use.

seolman I am curious are you running wp2.7?

Yes - it is easy but not for people who've never used WP. I have to get my wife to learn this and she's never used WP :P - I think my point got discombobulated in the 2 posts...sorry if I misspoke and made it seem harder than it was.
